Job description

Marketing Manager

Salary: Competitive + performance incentives

Be the driving force behind our brand, our voice, and our growth.

Who We Are

We're a specialist recruitment agency working across engineering, manufacturing, food, and construction sectors. We're ambitious, growing, and deeply committed to being seen as true market experts in the sectors we serve.

We're a small team with big goals, and we're looking for someone who wants to help shape the future of our brand, not just manage it. Someone who loves autonomy, thrives in a fast-moving environment, and isn't afraid to take bold steps to help us stand out.

If you've ever wanted to join a company where your ideas won't just be heard but acted on, this is your chance.

The Opportunity

As our full-time Marketing Manager, you will become the strategic and creative engine behind our marketing function. You'll build our brand, amplify our industry presence, and drive both candidate and client attraction across multiple channels.

This isn't a role where you'll be following a rigid playbook. Instead, you'll be creating one. You'll play a significant part in shaping how our business grows and how the market sees us.

What You'll Be Doing

Brand & Positioning

• Build and evolve our brand presence across engineering, manufacturing, food, and construction.
• Position us as credible, visible market experts using smart, strategic content and storytelling.
• Develop a tone of voice that reflects our personality, values, and ambitions.

Content & Social Media

• Create compelling content: blogs, sector insights, short videos, case studies, job promotion campaigns.
• Own our social media presence (especially LinkedIn) and grow a loyal, engaged audience.
• Produce content that attracts both candidates and clients fast.

Campaigns & Lead Generation

• Plan and execute campaigns that generate high-quality candidates and new business leads.
• Develop email marketing, nurture sequences, and talent-pool strategies.
• Experiment with paid ads, employer branding content, and new creative channels.

Website & SEO

• Manage and improve our website content, user experience, and performance.
• Optimise for SEO and help us rank for niche industry keywords.
• Track analytics to drive smarter decision-making.

Innovation & Experimentation

• Test bold new ideas to push our brand further into the market.
• Bring fresh thinking to how we grow our audience and build authority.
• Take calculated risks and help us challenge traditional recruitment marketing norms.

What We're Looking For

Must-Haves

• A genuine passion for marketing and content creation.
• Strong understanding of digital marketing, social media strategy, and brand positioning.
• Ability to write clearly, creatively, and with a distinctive tone.
• Comfortable taking the lead, making decisions, and moving at pace.
• Proactive mindset, someone who spots opportunities and jumps on them.
• Curiosity about engineering, manufacturing, food, or construction sectors (or willingness to learn fast).
• A builder mentality, you like creating things from scratch, not just maintaining them.

Great-to-Haves

• Experience in recruitment marketing or talent attraction.
• Skills in video editing, graphic design, or paid advertising.
• Knowledge of SEO, CRM systems, or marketing automation tools.
• Experience growing brands on LinkedIn.

Who This Role Is Perfect For

• Someone who wants to be a big part of a small team.
• Someone who loves autonomy and creative freedom.
• Someone who enjoys pushing boundaries,not playing it safe.
• Someone who wants their work to have a direct, visible impact on company growth.
• Someone who's excited by the idea of building a marketing function from the ground up.
• If you want to feel truly valued, trusted, and central to a company's success,this role is for you.

What We Offer

• A chance to directly shape the future of our brand and business.
• Freedom to innovate and test new ideas.
• A supportive environment where creativity and ambition are encouraged.
• Close collaboration with leadership and a voice in strategic decisions.
• Competitive salary + performance incentives.
• Opportunities for professional development and growth.
